Product Description
Lace focuses on the world-renowned collection of exquisite hand-made lace at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

The 150 beautiful illustrations, including many close-up details, highlight the intricate techniques and designs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful images, November 24, 2007
By Lady La (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This lavishly illustrated book has a small amount of text providing a basic history of lace from the seventeenth to twentieth centuries, but its real strength is in its 100 high quality photographs of laces from the Victoria and Albert Museum's collection.
